New Player Guide

Welcome to Empire Minecraft! This simple guide will teach you all the essentials of EMC and properly prepare you for our wonderful server. If you forget something, or would like additional information, feel free to have a look around the rest of the Empire Wiki. You can also use /help commands (for example: /help chat) or ask online players while you're in the game.

Empire Minecraft is made up of ten different servers, all joined together to make up one large Community. Each server is different in its own way, so explore them all and meet new people! There is no need to disconnect to change servers. Join IP: play.emc.gs and change between the servers with a simple single command:

/server - brings up a screen where you can select the server you want to visit.You can also use /smp#. For example: /smp4 would take you to smp #4.

ChatEmpire Minecraft has many different Chat channels in order to better assist each player. The channel can be changed by typing /Chat (channel). Alternatively, you can click on the icons in-game to automatically change Chat channels. They are explained as follows:

(T) Town - Used for normal communication between the Community. Can only be heard in Town.(L) Local - Used for communication with players that are nearby. If no one can hear you, it will alert you.(R) Residence - Used for communication on a single residence. Limitations are your residence boundaries.(G) Group - Used for communication between members in your Group(S) Supporter - Used only by supporters. Works in Town or the Frontier/Wastelands.(E) Economy - Used for discussing economy related things.(M) Moderator - Used only by the staff team. Inaccessible by other players.

/tell playername - Used to start a private conversation with playername. These messages will appear in purple on your screen. Other players cannot see these messages. They are private between you and the player you are speaking to, though can be accessed by Senior Staff members if you are under investigation for breaking one of our rules.

**Note: If someone is bothering you and you do not want to see their Chat any more, you can ignore the player with the command /ignore playername

If you forget what the ChatCommands are, type /Chatin-game. A description of all the Commands will pop up in your Chat screen like this screenshot:

TownHere is where you will start the game on your very own 60 x 60 residence. This world is made up of protected Residences owned by members of the Community. Mobs will not spawn and there is no fall damage nor weather changes to worry about. No one can build or do things on your residence without your permission, so it is completely grief-proof. Use your residence to build your dream house, start a shop, or create anything else you can think of. The choice is yours (as long as it follows our rules)!

/home - teleport back to your residence from anywhere in Town.
(this also works in the Wasteland and Frontier outposts)./Town - teleport to Town spawn./v ##### - teleport to the residence number ####./v playername - teleport to the residence owned by [playername].Note: You cannot teleport directly to a player. If someone wants you to visit them, try asking them for their residence number or use the /v playername option.

Explore the far reaches of the world and build outposts with your friends. Once you leave the spawn location you can only return to Town by traveling back to the spawn. So be careful and take plenty of supplies with you. If you get lost, consult the Live Map to find your way back.

Once you are in the wild, your Chat channel will be changed to local Chat and players in Town will not be able to hear you. Keep this in mind when planning trips and start a group Chat if exploring with your friends.

Once you make yourself a base, you can protect your items by locking them in chests for a small fee. Although this world is not protected against griefing, we do expect our players to respect other players and their builds. Those caught stealing other players' items or destroying builds will be banned from the server as mentioned in our rules.

This world is used for gathering resources which you can sell to shops or use for yourself.

Just like the Frontier World, you may not be able to access TownChat while exploring. Always plan ahead! If you get lost, look to the Live Map for help. You can type /map in game to bring up the website address.

Westronglysuggest that you do not build any structures here because this world is periodically reset every 3 months and we don't want you to lose your items.

However; keep in mind that even though no one should be building here it is still not allowed to grief other players.Those caught stealing other players' items or destroying their builds will be banned from the server as mentioned in our rules.

Using the command /assist brings up a handy menu of buttons that will use the Commands for you. At the same time, each button is titled with a display of what command it will be using, so it can also help you learn these Commands over time.

Here is a screenshot of what to expect when using /assist:

Rupees and TokensRupees are the official currency of the Empire. Almost anything can be bought using them, and you can earn them in a variety of ways. Your rupee account is cross server, meaning the Rupees you have on SMP1 are the same Rupees you have on SMP2, SMP3, SMP4 and so on. You will automatically gain 2,000 Rupees upon completion of the tutorial and up to an additional 11,000 Rupees for completing tasks such as signing up on the Forums. You will also receive various items that help you get started like armor, diamonds, a horse, etc. It is smart to keep these items and not sell them off because they will come in very handy while you learn the different aspects of the Empire.

Tokens are a special currency earned on Empire Minecraft for when a player completes a challenging task such as defeating Custom Mobs such as Enraged Zombie, Momentus or Marlix. The number of Tokens earned will scale based on the player's personal difficulty level, but may be affected by other factors such as number of player deaths nearby (In other words, constantly dying will reduce Tokens earned).

Unlike Rupees, Tokens must be earned by a player and cannot be traded or gifted.

ResidencesTo allow you to customize your residence as much as possible, the Empire has lots of Flags which control what other players can do on your residence. Flags are like permissions, they say what people can and cannot do. So be sure that you do not give Flags to people you don't completely trust.

/res info - Check residence info. Shows you all Flags on the residence as well as the residence number. If you cannot travel onto the residence due to move restrictions, click on the ground with a piece of string to bring up the residence information.

/res set [flag] t - To give a flag to everyone/res set [flag] f - To remove a flag from everyone

/res pset [name] [flag] t - To give a flag to a single person/res pset [name] [flag] f - To remove a flag from a single person/res pset [name] [flag] r - To reset a single person's flag back to default

Some important Flags to know:move - gives access for a player to move on your residencebuild - allows a player to build on your residence. Be careful with this one.container - allows a player to access all your containers, like chests. Be careful with this one.

Output of

/res info

for residence 3002. The Flags for everyone are shown under the heading 'Flags'. The specific player b4dman5imon has redstone, use and build Flags activated.

VaultOn each server you will have a separate inventory. Do not be alarmed if your items on one server do not show up on another server. You must manually transfer these items across the servers with your Vault. The cost is 10 Rupees every time you open it, however; after you first opened your Vault you can use the command again for free for a period of 5 minutes.

One Vault page can hold a double chest worth of items. If you would like some extra room then you can expand your Vault for 10,000 Rupees per page, or via redemption of a Vault Voucher. Once you have 5 Vault pages you will no longer need to pay for opening your Vault.

Stables
Horses cannot travel in your Vault. Therefore, in order to transfer them across the servers, we developed a Stables system. It is free to stable and unstable your horse on each server. For more details on horses, see Horse and Stables Commands. Outside of Town it costs 100r to summon a horse from a stable. Storing a horse is always free.

An overview of the stable Commands:/stable - views the horses in your stable/stable store - stores currently mounted horse/stable summon [#] - summons a horse at your current location
